Standard idle speed
950 to 1050 rpm
NOTE:- Turn all electrical systems and the A/C off.
- Inspect the idle speed with the cooling fan off.

- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Turn the Techstream off.
- Disconnect the Techstream from the DLC3.
- When not using the Techstream:
- Using SST, connect a tachometer tester probe to terminal 9 (TAC) of the DLC3.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

- Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) (Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE [11/2015 - ] ).

- INSPECT COMPRESSION
- Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) (Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE [11/2015 - ] ).
- Warm up and stop the engine.
- Remove the 4 spark plugs (Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - ]
).NOTE:
If the No. 1 ignition coil connector is disconnected because a DTC is detected in inspection, always reconnect it.
- Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.NOTE:
Check the HV battery voltage in the data list to ensure that the battery is fully charged.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Active Test / Compression Test / ON.

Standard compression pressure
871 kPa (8.9 kgf/cm2 , 126 psi)
Minimum pressure
661 kPa (6.7 kgf/cm2 , 96 psi)
Pressure difference between each cylinder
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2 , 15 psi)
NOTE:- Inspect the other cylinders in the same way.
- Measure the compression as quickly as possible.
HINT:
If the cylinder compression is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, then inspect it again.
- If adding oil increases the compression, the piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.
- If the pressure stays low, a valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leaks from the gasket.
- Install the 4 spark plugs (Refer to INSTALLATION [11/2015 - ] ).
- Clear the DTCs (Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2015 - ]
).
HINT:
Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the previous vehicle conditions before rechecking for DTCs.
- INSPECT CO/HC
HINT:
This check determines whether or not the idle CO / HC complies with regulations.
- Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) (Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE [11/2015 - ] ).
- Start the engine.
- Run the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.
- Insert a CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.31 ft.) into the tailpipe while idling.
- Check the CO/HC concentration while idling and when the engine is running at 2500 rpm.
HINT:
When doing a 2 mode (with the engine idling/ running at 2500 rpm) test, the measurement procedures are determined by applicable local regulations.
If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with the regulations, troubleshoot in the order given below.
- Check the DTCs (Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2015 - ] ).
- See the table below for possible causes, then inspect the applicable parts and repair them if necessary.
CO HC Problem Possible Cause Normal High Rough idle - Faulty ignition:
- Incorrect timing
- Fouled, shorted or improperly gapped plugs
- Incorrect valve clearance
- Leaks from intake and exhaust valves
- Leaks from cylinders
- Faulty EGR
Low High Rough idle (Fluctuating HC reading) - Vacuum leaks:
- PCV hoses
- Intake manifold
- Throttle body
- Lean mixture causing misfire
- Faulty EGR
High High Rough idle (Black smoke from exhaust) - Restricted air cleaner filter element
- Plugged PCV valve
- Faulty EFI systems:
- Faulty pressure regulator
- Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor
- Faulty mass air flow meter
- Faulty ECM
- Faulty injectors
- Throttle body
- Faulty EGR
